Scorchio!

So the Lonely Planet, in its received wisdom, warns us off visiting Seville in July/August. Google weather (above) illustrates why.

Note to self: next time read guidebook BEFORE booking trip. But it's a good excuse, as if we need one, to down gallons of sangria and indulge in long, languid siestas.

Now stumbling through the dance of pre-holiday preparations: the Animator is attempting to speed learn Spanish from a CD (the words 'too', 'little' and 'late' come to mind,) while I'm trying to figure out what you're supposed to pack for temperatures that threaten to turn visitors into barbecue spare ribs. And why the hell can I never find my togs when I need them?

About Me

Five foot nothing of organised chaos, I've made my living from words as long as I can remember.
This blog began life in May 2010 when we moved to Bristol, UK with the Animator's job. As I consider the Book of Face to be the work of the Devil, this blog was my way of letting friends and family on the other side of the world know what I was up to.
Headhunted back to Welly, NZ in July 2011, we are now, for the time being, happy to be home.
Kick off your shoes and stay a while....
